Re: Changing SyncCM date range

[Kent Madsen <Kent.Madsen@Eng>]

Vinod,

BE CAREFUL -- I just changed my date range (initially I mis-typed it as 
"01/01/1997" instead of "01/01/1998".

When I changed the date and re-ran sync, I received the same message as you -- I 
pressed the "what can I do" button out of curiosity.  I read the message from 
the dialog box, but when I pressed "ok" it cancelled the sync.  OK so far.

However, the *next* sync I ran -- because I really did want to delete the 1997 
appointments -- forgot about the "shrunk significantly" condition and the end 
result was that it transferred an extra copy of my appointments to the Pilot and 
then *deleted* all the 1998 appointments on my CDE calendar!

I'm still trying to sort this out.

Kent
